The Message version of the Bible was written by Eugene Peterson. To understand the version, I highly recommend reading this Version Information: Why was The Message written?
Except:
When we hear something over and over again in the same way, we can become so familiar with it that the text loses its impact. The Message strives to help readers hear the living Word of God—the Bible—in a way that engages and intrigues us right where we are.
Some people like to read the Bible in Elizabethan English. Others want to read a version that gives a close word-for-word correspondence between the original languages and English. Eugene Peterson recognized that the original sentence structure is very different from that of contemporary English. He decided to strive for the spirit of the original manuscripts—to express the rhythm of the voices, the flavor of the idiomatic expressions, the subtle connotations of meaning that are often lost in English translations.

So I asked AI: Which version of the Bible is Elizabethan English? One of the answers given was: The King James version.
Whatever version you prefer — read it!.. except for the heretical writings called The Passion (TPT).
I study from the NASB and enjoy reading and quoting from the Amplified. And sometimes I refer to many versions for better understanding. They all are scholarly translations from the original Hebrew (Old Testament) or Greek (New Testament).
*NOTE: In the “FOR MORE” section below [and here], read the interesting Quotes about this apostate’s TPT version to get a feel of …why not to accept the TPT version.
Instead of us all learning Hebrew AND Greek to read the Bible… teams of brilliant Christian scholars have put it into our own languages of today. Praise God for that!
FOR MORE:
In his The Message version of the Bible, Eugene Peterson strives “for the spirit of the original manuscripts” – “to help readers hear the living Word of God—the Bible—in a way that engages and intrigues us right where we are.”

The Passion Translation (TPT) and why not to use it
- Comments from an article about the TPT:
Edmond 2 years ago · Comment: About Brian Simmons. Mike Winger did some research into Brian Simmons and he’s not even who he claims to be. While he did work with New Tribes, they have essentially said he did nothing in terms of translating scriptures, at best he was involved in a quality control function, but did none of the actual translation work. He also lacks any translation credentials. So of course he had to ‘receive inspiration from God’ because he certainly doesn’t have the understanding to write a translation from the preserved manuscripts.He also claimed he handed the people a New Testament when he left in the late 80s, which is amazing considering New Tribes said the translation was not even done until 1995.The guy is a modern day Joseph Smith, he’s creating a false religion. It probably won’t be long before he introduces special ‘rights’ of those that ‘teach’ his heresy, like all cults eventually do.2 Corinthians 11:12-15.
“12 And I will keep on doing what I am doing in order to cut the ground from under those who want an opportunity to be considered equal with us in the things they boast about. 13 For such people are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as apostles of Christ. 14 And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. 15 It is not surprising, then, if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve.” - Comments by Holly Pivec on a website: He [Brian Simmons] originally released his translation in installments, so the answer depends on which book of the Bible the verse appears in. [The original wording appeared in “Letters From Heaven by the Apostle Paul,” published in 2013] I know he made a significant change to his translation of Galatians 6:6.Originally his translation read “And those who are taught the Word will receive an impartation from their teacher; a transference of anointing takes place between them.”Now it reads “And those who are taught the Word must share all good things with their teacher; a sharing of wealth takes place between them.”Editor adds: Galatians 6:6 in the Amplified Bible reads: 6 The one who is taught the word [of God] is to share all good things with his teacher [contributing to his spiritual and material support].
- Simmons says he went to Heaven and saw this “new chapter”, but did not bring it back to earth with him. He still has not gone back to Heaven a second time to get that chapter. But — it’s there, he says.
Words used by Simmons in the TPT, differing with instances in real translations (ESV/NKJV/NIV/NASB). Get a load of this!
